E-Mealz

Much like composing a will, composing a grocery list requires the foresight to know what your kids will want. Outsource an unpleasant task with today's Groupon: for $29, you get 12 months of online meal planning from E-Mealz (a $58 value).

Endorsed by financial author Dave Ramsey and highlighted on Oprah Winfrey's Life Lift blog, E-Mealz charts out a week's worth of dollar- and healthy-savvy dinner recipes to relieve the burden of kitchen-related stress. Each week, organized grocery lists—customized by family size, dietary desires, and store preferences—showcase flavorful culinary creations for discerning palates. Plans developed by working parents capitalize on sale items at stores such as Wal-Mart and Kroger, and an "any store" list can be used to navigate the aisles of other favored grocers. Family meal plans serve seven meals for three to six people, whereas plans for two are tailored to singles, couples, or a pair of sock puppets on a date atop a chest of drawers.

Special vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb, low-fat, and portion-controlled meal-plan options aid nongeneric eaters in assembling targets for their teeth and postholiday fitness regimens. The Wal-Mart family plan supplies culinary sustenance to families of three to six for an average weekly cost of $75–$85 and takes advantage of the store's regularly discounted prices. A duo can fill a Publix cart for $35–$45 a week, including side dishes.

Born of founder Jane DeLaney's desire to feed her family stress-free dinners provisioned from an organized list without coupons, E-Mealz allows shoppers to spend more time at the table and less time wandering about the grocery store uttering monophonic 10th-century chants in dismay.

Customer Reviews

Easy set up. It takes me less than 5 minutes to print out menu and grocery list. The grocery list is by category with staples listed on the side which makes it easy to read. I made our first meal tonight and we loved it!
